This park provides 94 total camping sites with 69 sites near the park entrance and the other 25 near the White Oaks picnic area, each outfitted with water, electrical hookups and a picnic table. RV and trailer vehicle length is restricted to 40 feet or less. Primitive walk-in campsites with communal water facilities are available near Lake Oolenoy. These tent-only sites are perfect for thru-hikers, and cyclists. Wilderness camping is not permitted at Table Rock. Make reservations online or directly through the campground.
Table Rock provides three sites specifically for group camping. Tent pads for six, seven and 11 guests are available. Contact the camp directly for group camping reservations. Rates for these sites are based on a 10-person occupancy and increase with additional guests.
The park provides a dump station, laundry facilities and hot showers and restrooms for guest use. A fully restored lodge facility is one of the highlights of the park. Build by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, the renovated lodge has made the National Registry of Historic Places and is available for rentals. A Visitors Center near the Hwy 11 entrance to the park supplies brochures, maps and has Wi-Fi Internet access. Families may enjoy spreading out in the one-, two- or three-bedroom furnished cabins available with screened-in porches, fireplaces and air conditioning.
Hikers will enjoy the five trails leading from the campground, including the Foothills Trail and the trail to Table Rock Mountain. Trail lengths vary between the mellow 0.7-mile Mill Creek Pass hike up to the 4.1 hike to Pinnacle Mountain. Two nearby lakes, Pinnacle and Oolenoy provide angling for catfish, bream and bass. The lakes are also open for water sports such as kayaking, pedal boats, rowboats and private fishing boats. Lake Oolenoy is fitted with an accessible pier for those with mobility challenges. During the summer season, if lifeguards are available, a swimming area with high and low diving boards is open. Several ranger programs for all ages are also available during the summer months, and four picnic pavilions are available for rent.
